VPNs are having a moment. On January 1st, Florida joined 18 other states in implementing an age verification law that burdens Floridians' access to sites that host adult content, including pornography websites like Pornhub. In protest to these laws, PornHub blocked access to users in Florida....

With varying mandates across different regions, it will become increasingly difficult for VPNs to effectively circumvent these age verification requirements because each state or country may have different methods of enforcement and different types of identification checks, such as government-issued IDs, third-party verification systems, or biometric data. As a result, VPN providers will struggle to keep up with these constantly changing laws and ensure users can bypass the restrictions, especially as more sophisticated detection systems are introduced to identify and block VPN traffic.

I agree generally with what this says. However, in the most recent ban in Australia, we don’t even know how they’re going to make this law enforceable, and VPN’s do still work at the moment. The people it detrimentally effects havebeen given a headstart here and they know it. VPN’s are just the tip of the iceberg.
